"I think three parties would be enough and that will make 320 seats," Thaksin said.
Thaksin's likely choices for coalition partners are the New Aspiration Party of former prime minister Chavalit Yongchaiyudh and the Chart Thai party of ex-premier Banharn Silpa-archa.
Thaksin acknowledged that it could be months before his government was in place, due to the need for re-votes and negotiations with other parties. "The whole process will probably take about two months to complete," he told reporters.
The Nation daily said Thaksin's victory marked a new era for Thai politics.
